Manual Outlining

If your data does not contain functions, but instead contains values or text, you will be unable to create an Automatic Outline . Instead, you will need to manually group and outline your data to your own requirements.

You could Manually Outline data, like the data in the following screen shot that does not contain any functions.

If you need to use Manual Outlining, the best way to approach it is to group in layers, Starting from the top and working down. You can then develop a comprehensive system of outlining in your Worksheet with relative ease allowing you to maximum functionality of this useful feature.

To create a manual outline with three sub-groups, follow these steps:

Highlight rows 4:13
Go to Data>Group and Outline>Group
Highlight rows 17:19
Go to Data>Group and Outline>Group
Highlight rows 4:21
Go to Data>Group and Outline>Group

Your outline should look like the following screen shot.

Again, buttons with the numbers 1, 2, 3 indicate an outlining level. Click on the buttons to expand or collapse all summary levels to that level. You will also notice the collapse button (-) and an expand (+) button. The collapse button will indicate that the associated summary level has been expanded to show the detail levels. The expand button works in reverse.

To clear a Manual Outline, go to Data>Group and Outline>Clear Outline.
